New Life After Death: Cells Reorganize into Xenobots and Anthrobots
Scientists report a 'third state' between life and death: cells from deceased organisms can form new, functioning multicellular units called Xenobots (frog cells) and Anthrobots (human cells) that move, repair damage, and even reorganize without normal growth, suggesting an electrical toolkit that rewrites cellular programs. This discovery could enable future medical uses like targeted drug delivery and tissue regeneration, blurring the boundary between life and death.
